The Brush cross country team had another challenging field of teams to race this week.Seven runners for the girls team and six for the boys team ran at Waneka Lake Park in Lafayette on Saturday at the Centaurus Cross Country Invitational. The meet was divided into nine separate races, including a middle school meet and a local 5K.Brush ran in the varsity races, which was made up of over 25 teams in each race.Senior Toby Uhrig was the fastest runner for the Beetdiggers on Saturday with his time of 19:39. Saturday's time was roughly 10 seconds better than his first performance at pre-state and was the second time this season he finished under 20 minutes.Two other athletes from the girls team finished in the top 100 on Saturday along with Uhrig. Junior Ashley Hinojos was the fastest runner for the girls team at 23:31. She would place 91st overall in the race. 16 seconds later, sophomore Jordan Kendrick finished for Brush, beating out a pair of runners to finish 98th.The top six runners for the Brush girls team finished at 25:28 or faster. With an average time of 24:49 as a team, the Beetdiggers would finish 16th out of 19 teams in the field. The boys team would not post an official team score with just six runners competing.Brush continues its tough early schedule with two more big meets coming up. This week, the Beetdiggers will head to Lyons to run in the St. Vrain Invitational, a meet that brings a number of top teams similar to the first two meets at pre-state and Centaurus.

Following the meet this week, Brush will run at Monfort Park on Sept. 16, the same course that hosts regionals in October. Head coach Vicky Quinlin has seen her team race well at Monfort Park over the years and will look to use that meet to springboard the team into some Patriot League meets that will follow.
